After the mail is sent (and the Evolution compose window disappears) xwininfo -root -all still shows that Evolution continues to have an open window:
$ xwininfo -root -all | grep -i evo 0x180003b "evolution": () 10x10+-100+-100 +-100+-100 0x1800001 "evolution": ("evolution" "Evolution") 10x10+10+10 +10+10 So evolution has started a 10x10 window which is off-screen at -100 x -100. This is why it keeps running. $ xkill -id 0x180003b xkill: killing creator of resource 0x180003b This causes evolution to finally exit. -- Evolution stays running in the background when mailto: link used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
